You spot a job that looks too good to be true.

A job listing promises $25 an hour to work from home with no experience needed. Sounds fake. It probably is. We watch for posts that match known scam patterns and show you a warning before you apply.

The warning is short and honest. It tells you what to watch for: upfront fees, vague job descriptions, requests for your Social Security number before you even interview. You can still apply if you want. But you'll know the risks.

This isn't about blocking jobs. Plenty of real posts get flagged because they're short or use common phrases. The point is to give you a second to think before you send your resume to a stranger.
